@HughHolbrookQuestion about one of the magic items in the 5e DMG. Sword of Sharpness, does object include creatures for the effect? "Sword of Sharpness, does object include creatures for the effect?" Two different effects: one for objects, one for creatures.

@martywalser@mikemearlsMonster Manual stats seem lower than guides in DMG for making CR-leveled monsters. Are MM monsters under powered? We don't think so. Keep in mind that CR calculations are heavily affected by monster traits.
